Windward CC seeks visionary leader

The search for Windward Community College’s new chancellor has begun. The job was announced locally and nationally on July 20, 2018, and the expected start date is in January 2019. Windward CC’s current chancellor, Douglas Dykstra, will retire in December 2018. He has served as chancellor since 2009.

In making the search announcement, University of Hawaiʻi Vice President for Community Colleges John Morton said Windward CC is seeking a visionary leader who can guide the college to address challenges and opportunities.

Search timeline

The Chancellor Search Advisory Committee plans to begin screening applicants and nominees in August 2018.

In addition to in-person interviews by the finalists planned in November 2018, on-campus visits will be scheduled to ensure that students, faculty, staff and other stakeholders are able to attend open forums. Campus visits are a key component of the search process.

Morton plans to submit his recommended candidate for appointment to UH President David Lassner in November 2018.
